Young Ones Page #5

It's important.

Mm...

I'm sorry.

Mm.

I gotta go.

Bye bye, Jerome.

Bye bye.

Sorry to wake you.

You know, I sold your

machine ten years ago for a

reforestation project.

Six owners since then.

I love thinking about

all they've seen.

Them wheat farms of yours

are never supposed to be as

far west as they are.

You ever heard of

manifest destiny?

No sir.

I like history.

Everyone's so damned scared

to repeat it, they never

thought how bad the

alternatives was.

Now look around

at this world.

Seems to me, repeat business

to the well of bad ideas

would've put us all a lot

better off than we are today.

You know what

conservatism is?

No sir.

Well, that's gone too.

Prepare yourself.

She's a sight.

Okay, beauty.

Let's see what

they did to you.

Alright, let's get

this going.

Calvin, pick up extension 454.

Calvin, please pick

up extension 454.

What's that?

Look familiar?

That's me.

Uh huh.

Ever seen this?

That's its face.

That's right.

It's its eyes.

Avoids objects and obstacles

using a laser guidance system.

Lasers measure distance, terrain,

grade of slopes and things.

The laser reflection

information is captured, and

on this monitor, we can see

images of the landscape and

its surroundings.

If you know what you're

looking at, it comes clear.

This dial can just shuttle

around, find where it gave

trouble or broke down.

Maybe see why.

Calvin, please come to the

showroom.

Calvin, please come

to the showroom.

We're getting on the

body work tout suite.

It shall be tip top.

Excuse me a moment.

This is a machine, the

simulit

shadow.

Look at that, in

very good work...

The machine hurt?

No, I'm just thinking it

knows how

hard the work's

gonna be around here.

Those watermen

paid me to take it.

There's insurance

money in it.

What's that?

It's raining.

Jesus, stud.

It's an act of god.

Thought that f***er

had abandoned us.

Guess he left just to hitch

a jackpot and drag it back.

How's your mother?

She really appreciates

everything you're doing for

her with the money.

It's a pleasure.

I'm gonna go see her again

this week, if that's okay.

Told her I'd spend

the night again.

Ah, her sweet boy.

How'd you get

the simulit back?

What do you mean?

You know, our machine.

The shadow.

When you sold it to Robbie,

how'd you get it back?

I didn't.

It's out there in the barn.

Saw it as I walked

in from the road.

It's all cleaned up,

but it's ours alright.

Yeah, Robbie must've

brought it back.

If he think he's getting a

refund, if he's really as

dumb as he is...

Glad to have her

back, though.

Can't blame her for

everything, right?

Yeah, sure stud.

I'll go talk to Robbie.

Do you believe it?

Just wish your

father could see it.

Mary won't tell me if she's

having a boy or a girl.

There's no way to know.

I don't want to

be called grandma.

I'm putting you

in charge of that.

Okay.

You'll have to come up with

a whole new name for me.

You like the idea of that?

Think about it.

Something's wrong.

Don't worry about me.

I'll worry about

you, like Ernest.

Like dad.

This boy, Flemming.

Does he make her happy?

Yes.

He holds her up?

He's a good man?

A good boy?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

God damn vultures

heading west again.

They'll eat all

our new seed.

This thing don't

fire straight.

Piece of sh*t.

Who knew about you.

You're messing with

my sights, cheater?

Lucky shot.

It is off.

I'll take it in

town to get fixed.

Okay, funnyman.

Make your jokes.

But I'm going to lay

down the law right now!

I keep the

rent money in the old coffee

pot and, I keep the...

Well why'd the landlord

come to me for the money?

Oh, well that was

a misunderstanding.

I was busy when he came, so

I said "go to the old pot

and get the money"

I'm going down town

to pay these bills.

I spoke to Robbie today.

What's that?

On the radio.

He was looking for

you, Robbie was.

What did he say?

Just that he's

looking for you.

Where is he?

He didn't say.

Well what did he say?

Just said he was

looking for you.

That was it.

What, on the...

On the ten meter?

Yeah.

Did he give a channel

to radio back on?

He said he was on

someone else's handle.

What, someone else's handle

or someone else's radio?

Handle, I think.

Handle.

Huh.

Yeah.

That's a lie.

I don't know, that's

just what he said.

No, not him.

You. That's a lie, that last

part.

Flem...

Robbie doesn't have a radio,

so he doesn't have a handle,

so he didn't call here.

Tell her.

I saw what you thought.

I saw what you just thought.

Flem, stop it.

Robbie called,

looking for me.

- That's what you said?

- Yes.

- And you spoke to him?

- Yep.

Okay.

And the rest of this land

wouldn't cost you anything

up front.

What, it's all of it?

Probably the line runs from

the basalt compression to

the foothills.

From the foothills, it runs

almost diagonal right to

where you stand.

That's all of it, Flemming.

20,000 acres.

That's all my land.

Proud of you boy.

Bringing the papers.

One for you, Flemming.

Nflem, you're never there when I

radio you.

We should talk

about some things.

I'm okay.

Is sooz mad?

I don't want to

come back if she is.

Can you meet me tomorrow?

The fork at

independence pass.

Please bring some

food and spike.

I'm in trouble.

Robbie.

You said 20,000 acres.

Is that taxable or usable?

But it's pitch black out.

There's barely a moon.

I've got to stake the new

property lines and see about

the second air double.

If they can't run it,

the land's worthless.

Why not go in the morning?

'Cause I want to be back

before tomorrow night.

What are you really doing?

Stop, Mary.

Can't you take

the dirt bike?

I was maddening a belt,

but I can't make that.

You're not yourself.

What else is going on?

I'm just asking.

Don't.

Where's the dualie?

I took it to get

repaired, remember?

No, I don't.

You said it didn't

shoot straight.

Oh, that's right.

Damn.

I'm heading out

for the night.

Don't want any trouble

near the border.

Oh.

I can go with you.

You know the cb talk?

Robbie?

All of everything I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Robbie!

Robbie!

Robbie!

Robbie!

Sooz is really mad at you!

It's serious, Robbie!

Robbie!

Help!

Help me!

Robbie!

Help me!

Help!

Help me!

Robbie, I'm sorry!

Robbie, I'm so sorry.

Oh, stud.

C-can you help me please?

Please?

Can you?

Can you help, can you help me

out?

Is Robbie with you?

It was a...

It was an accident!

Just a god damned accident!

You don't, you don't

want to do this!

No.

I don't.

Help!

Help!

Help me!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

What are you going

to tell your sister?

I'm not going to

tell her anything.

Not about you.

Not about before.

Not, not about...

You'll kill her if

you do this stud.

You know what her life

would be like without me.

She'll hate that baby.

She'll hate that

baby if you do this.

She'll hate you and

she won't even know it.

It's...

Such a big world.

You're thinking so small!
